Figure 1. Dexamethasone-treated dendritic cells (dxDC) from natural rubber latex (NRL)-allergic patients display a stable immature phenotype.

Figure 1

(A) Representative histograms of 1 out of 6 patients for HLA II, CD80, CD86, CD40, CD83 and CCR7 expression on immature DCs (iDC), LPS-modulated DCs (mDC) and dexamethasone-modulated DCs (dxDC). (B) Representative histograms show the uptake of FITC-dextran by iDC, dxDC and mDC. Results from 1 representative NRL-allergic patient are shown. (C) iDC and dxDC were exposed to LPS (1 ug/ml) for 18 hours. Graphs represent the mean+SD of 3 separate experiments performed in duplicate. *p<0.05; **p<0.01. Histograms show results from 1 representative NRL-allergic patient.
